According to a news release as a result of the force structure changes, the Community Based Warrior Transition Unit in Utah will be inactivated, and the cadre from that unit will transition to the Community Care Unit at Fort Riley.

Since its inception in 2007, the WCTP has evolved to meet the changing needs of wounded, ill and injured Soldiers and their Families. The WTU population of wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers across the Army has steadily declined over the last 14 months by almost 3,000 with 7,070 Soldiers currently assigned to WTUs ( as of Jan. 2, 2014 ).

The following changes will occur this fiscal year across the Army:

–Establish 13 Community Care Units embedded within Warrior Transition Batalions at 11 Army installations

–Inactivate all nine Community-Based Warrior Transition Units with medical management and mission command for Soldiers healing in their home communities transitioning to a WTB on an Army installation.

–Inactivate five WTUs where the populations of wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers are extremely low.
